  • I'm trying to come up with a few titles for Gen2 Fey along the lines of Aung's " Daughter of the Burning Oak, Paramount Queen of the West, Chatelaine of Tyr-na-Baine, Hidden Blossom of the Spring blah blah blah", but the only one that feels right is" Guardian of the Sacred Tree." Anyone have any other ideas?

    Another on I'd thought of was "Daughter of the Queen who Was", to give her that link to the old court if she ever needed it.
    not that I plan to do more then have her use them to establish her creds with mt space elf, they aren't something she trots out every day.

    But seriously... a pompous title bestowed on Fey in the 21st Century? What about "Inspiration of Male Puberty?" Or "Arbiter of Fashionable Elegance?"

    Don't call me "Shirley." You will surely make me surly.

    Crypto didn't say that it was for Nikki, just that it was for Gen2.

    And, for the record, the August Tyler happens to be an actual Masonic title.

  • What Cryptic asked for was "a few titles for Gen2 Fey." So I guess it boils down to whether "Fey" in this context refers to The Fey or to Nikki specifically. I assumed the former, but in hindsight I'm thinking the latter was intended.

    Some Nikki-specific titles for the Gen2 era:

    Daughter and Mother of the Burning Oak
    Dendrologist of the West
    Hydrator of Hallways
    Bearer of the Boston Championship Belt
    Unabashed Sister of Kellith
    She Who Graces the Wall

    Cryptic was trying to come up with a few pompous titles for a Gen2 fae character that isn't Fey, along the lines of Aung's string of epithets.

  • If you want 'pomous' titles, how about "Apple of Gaia's Eye"?

    Sorry not sorry.

    I think that that's Razorback.

  • I suppose a 'pomace' title might be "Keeper of the Mighty Pompadour".

    I could also give a 'pumice' title, but I think I've been aggressive with these puns enough already - I'm a lava, not a fighta.

  • thank Sir Lee for reminding me I have to write a "I have your vintage Sierra Club poster on my wll, so learning from you will be hard as I'll be picturing you mostly naked..." scene between Jessie and Nikki.

    Remember that in Gen 2, Ms. Reilly is one of the Mystic Arts instructors. We've actually seen her on scene once, at the end of Sunshine & Fury, when they're doing an extraction of a student who was kidnapped over the summer holiday, and it's definitely Nicki, not someone else named Ms. Reilly.
